Hi folks,
I'm trying to calculate the required size of a pressure relief valve I will use on a theoretical double pipe heat exchanger.
I've came across these formulas:
But there are a few things I don't really understand there:
1. First and foremost, I'm having a hard time understanding...
Hi folks,
As part of a theoretical exercise, I'm designing a double pipe, concentric heat exchanger.
The inner pipe carries water and the outer pipe carries hot thermal oil that heats the water up to a certain temperature.
There are a lot of variables in the problem (length of the pipes, flow...
Hi guys,
I would like to calculate the thickness (and the other parameters needed) of butt weld that connects between a pipe and a weld neck flange:
I couldn't find any thumb rule, or even better: an analytic formula (which involves working pressure, temperature, etc) that allows calculating...
Hi guys,
I read on the internet that BPVs not only control the upstream pressure in the system, but can also work as pressure reducers.
How is it possible?
For instance, if I want to hold pressure of 200 bar, I will use a BPV, but from what I understand, if I want to reduce the pressure after...
Hi folks,
I'm looking for a graph like this one:
But I need it to be for a specific insulation thickness (0.1016 m (4") thickness) and for a higher temperature difference (around 300 celsius degrees difference)
Could you help me with finding something like that? I couldn't find anything...
Hi all,
I'm working on a project that comprises of building a heat exchanger.
The fluid inside the heat exchanger is sea water (with some algae, but let's ignore that for our matter) at 350 celsius degrees and 250 bar (I'm trying to perform HTL - hydrothermal liquefaction, hence the high...
